In what way would it be better than existing town- and neighborhood-specific groups on Facebook or something like /r/LosAngeles?
- jklinger410 8y agoI'm not proposing anything specific so it's hard to respond to this question. There are many things that make subreddits and local facebook groups not work, though, and that's a lack of value to the user. They are there for you to use, or not, and their value comes from participation only. Facebook isn't going to add a feature for your community. Reddit isn't going to help moderate your subreddit. These large companies make money off of the national-level mindset, so their local offerings are kind of "take it or leave it."
- maxerickson 8y agoThat they come with scum filtering is a pretty attractive feature of big platforms like reddit. It's not going to help with the moderation that builds a community, but it isn't worthless either.
